Device Enrolment

Q: Why am I being asked to enrol my device?

This will be done by sending a push notification to your registered device to satisfy the requirements of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) Push notifications are real time messages that pop up on your device screen advising you to authenticate certain online activity.
